STIRLING STORIES
AUGUST 2018
Following the exciting announcement of our inclusion on this year’s Stirling Prize Shortlist for our Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre in Oxford, Niall will be taking part in the RIBA’s Stirling Stories. The talks take place on the 11th September at London’s RIBA on Portland Place and on the 27th September at York’s Everyman Cinema. The shortlist consists of six buildings and these events provide an opportunity for the architects to present and discuss the unique stories behind their projects.
AUCKLAND CASTLE PLANNING APPROVAL
MARCH 2015
We have received planning approval and Listed Building Consent for the restoration and extension to Auckland Castle in Co. Durham. The project involves repairs and alterations to the existing listed buildings, a new museum extension and a visitor reception building facing the town square. Given the high sensitivity of this unique site, the planning process took almost one year, involving a very constructive dialogue with English Heritage and Durham County Council. The designs had overwhelming support from local people.
